    It really doesn’t make sense to talk about averages for something like this in a country as large and diverse as[US is. Median home price in Hawaii is $973k. In West Virginia it’s $158k. The average isn’t relevant to most people, just the tiny fraction who live in a place where it’s about in the middle. Also worth noting that average salaries vary pretty widely, too.

      It does make sense because the average house price has gone up for everyone.
